Ingredients:
- 1 package instant vanilla flavor pudding and pie filling
- 1 package banana cream instant pudding
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup margarine, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup brickle chips, plus extra for garnish
Instructions:
-
Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the oven is at the right temperature for baking the cake evenly.
-
Prepare the Bundt Pan: Generously grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt® pan. This step is crucial to prevent the cake from sticking to the pan and to ensure a smooth release.
-
Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, instant vanilla flavor pudding mix, banana cream instant pudding mix, eggs, sweetened condensed milk, butter, and margarine. Beat the mixture at medium speed with an electric mixer for about 2 minutes until the batter is well combined and smooth.
-
Fold in the Brickle Chips: Gently fold the brickle chips into the batter. This adds a delightful crunch and caramel flavor to the cake.
-
Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading it evenly. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
-
Cool the Cake: Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 25 minutes. This cooling period helps the cake set and makes it easier to remove from the pan.
-
Invert and Cool Completely: Carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate. Let it cool completely before glazing. This step ensures that the glaze will set properly on a cooled cake.
-
Prepare the Glaze: For the glaze, combine the frosting and brown sugar in a small bowl. Stir in milk gradually until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
-
Drizzle and Garnish: Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake, allowing it to flow naturally over the top and sides. Sprinkle the reserved brickle chips on top for an extra touch of sweetness and texture.
